appearing to stir and then falling back

02:46

to sleep Trump's eyes were closed for

02:49

extended periods and his head has at

02:52

times jerked in a way consistent with

02:56

lawyers passed to him several minutes

03:49

ago Suzanne Craig from The New York

03:51

Times reports Trump is struggling to

03:53

stay awake his eyes were closed for a

03:56

short period he was jolted awake when

03:59

Todd blanch his lawyer nudged him while

04:02

sliding a note in front of him NBC

04:06

reported earlier in the trial Trump

04:08

appears to have fallen asleep while

04:10

listening to the testimony Trump's eyes

04:12

were closed for extended periods of time

04:17

this is Lisa Rubin who's been in the

04:19

courtroom she's reporting from Ms MSNBC

04:23

she explained earlier in the trial the

04:25

various methods Trump's lawyers have

04:27

been using to try to keep keep him from

04:30

falling asleep but nothing is working

04:33

play this clip really quickly if I can

04:35

Lisa your observations on Donald Trump

04:39

today sleeping again you know they have

04:43

tried a number of different devices yeah

04:45

sleeping for a lot of it um I would say

04:48

they've tried a number of different

04:49

devices to keep Trump awake partially in

04:52

response or what appears to be in

04:53

response to Collective press Corp

04:55

observations so for example when there

04:57

are sidebars an attorney doesn't leave

04:59

his side any more because leaving him

05:00

alone means leaving him to potentially

05:03

sleep he has a stack of papers with him

05:05

at all times now to go through but

05:07

neither of those things seem to have

05:09

protected Trump from his own exhaustion

05:11

today more than you know more than not

05:15

when I looked up to see how Trump was

05:18

receiving the testimony Trump was not

05:20

receiving it at all because his eyes

05:21

were closed Maggie Haberman interviewed

05:24

with CNN and she and she she's a New

05:27

York Times Reporter of course and she

05:29

told told Jake Tapper on CNN how she

05:33

also observed Donald Trump how his jaw

05:37

kept falling on his chest and his mouth

05:39

kept going slack let's play this clip

05:42

was inside court all morning uh Maggie I

05:45

have to ask you guys have been at the

05:46

times have been live

05:47

blogging uh this uh event and 40 minutes

05:51

ago you wrote an observation that that

05:54

uh I was very surprised Trump appears to

05:56

be sleeping his head keeps dropping down

05:59

and and his mouth goes slack tell us

06:01

about

06:03

that well Jake he appeared to be asleep

06:06

and you know he repeatedly his his head

06:08

would would fall down there have been

06:10

other moments in other trials like the

06:12

the E Peril trial which was around the

06:14

corner uh in January where he appeared

06:16

very still and seemed as if he might be

06:18

sleeping but then he then he would move

06:20

this time he didn't pay attention to a

06:22

note that his lawyer Tod land past him

06:24

his jaw kept falling on his chest and

06:27

his mouth kept going slack now uh you

06:29

know sometimes people do fall asleep

06:31

during court proceedings but it it's

06:33

notable given the intensity of this

06:35

morning and a lot of what was being

06:36

argued notably this was getting into

06:39

Donald Trump's head of course and so

06:42

when Donald Trump uh went into court

06:45

last week and he said that the defense

06:47

was going to rest Donald Trump wanted to

06:50

make it clear that he doesn't rest he

06:53

never sleeps he says he goes but the

06:55

defense we're going to rest very

06:57

powerfully but he doesn't sleep he says

07:00

here play this clip here I am and we'll

07:02

07:18

throughout this trial as part of the

07:20

sideshow of Donald Trump falling asleep

07:22

at Key moments during critical testimony

07:25

during jury selection as key Witnesses

07:28

were testifying buing um Donald Trump's

07:31

lawyers were also complaining to the

07:34

judge uh earlier on in the trial that

07:38

Donald Trump wanted to attack Michael

07:40

Cohen because Cohen had previously given

07:43

Donald Trump the nickname of Von shiten

07:45

pant and that became part of this

07:48

criminal trial and part of this criminal

07:50

record as well Jake Tapper reported play

07:53

this clip in some measure going back and

07:55

forth with the former president okay I

07:57

apologize for this update ahead of time

08:00

uh but uh blanch Todd blanch the Trump

08:02

attorney is specifically reading a post

08:05

that Michael Cohen made on Twitter on

08:07

April 22nd when in which he refers to

08:10

Donald Trump as Von shits in pants uh

08:13

that is just a factual record that I am

08:16

bringing before you uh this is in the

08:18

court transcript uh Von shiten pants uh

08:21

blanch also said there are repeated

08:23

attacks on Trump and his candidacy on

08:24

Cohen's podcast and Tik Tok account

08:27

danab bash I know you want to weigh in

08:28

on Von shits

08:31

did it

08:33

on I been calling and then of course

08:36

earlier in the trial my sources were

08:39

telling me and this was happening

08:40

earlier that as Donald Trump was falling

08:44

asleep uh he was passing gas on his like

08:48

in the vicinity of his lawyers and that

08:50

his lawyers were getting very grossed

08:52

out about it I think his lawyers who

08:54

were talking to sources about it shut

08:57

that down when that news got out that

09:00

that was happening but that's what they

09:02

said was happening or that's what our

09:04

sources told us was what was happening

09:06

and was being reported that Trump would

09:08

fall asleep and basically um uh pass gas

09:12

or reli himself as he was falling asleep

09:15

and this was the video we made earlier

09:18

in the trial and of course this one went

09:20

Mega viral play this clip returning to

09:22

the court proceedings as well Maggie

09:24

Haberman reports that Donald Trump

09:26

continued to fall asleep during the

09:28

proceedings as well

09:30

um and you know what I'm hearing from my

09:33

sources as well is that um you know and

09:36

and I'm hearing from credible sources

09:39

who know what's going on in the

09:40

courtroom and what I'm hearing is is

09:43

that

09:44

um take it for what it's worth but that

09:47

Donald Trump is actually farting in the

09:49

courtroom and that it's very stinky

09:51

around him it's putrid odor in the

09:53

courtroom and that Trump's lawyers um

09:57

are like repulsed by the scent and the

09:59

smell and I'm not I'm not just saying

10:01

that to be like oh funny funny I'm

10:03

actually you know we have good sources

10:06

there and I'm hearing it from actual

10:08

credible people that as he's kind of

10:11

falling asleep he's actually passing gas

10:14

and that his lawyers are really

10:17

struggling with the smell I think you'll

10:20

actually start to hear more of that but

10:23

again from real credible sources now

10:24

take it for what it's worth they may be

10:27

going off the record I mean on

10:28

background and telling me that because

10:31

of um you know it's the mightest touch

10:33

and you know they think that we want to

10:35

hear that so you could judge it how you

10:36

want to judge it but real credible

10:39

people who are there um saying that it's

10:42

putrid um around him and so as the jury

10:46

starts its deliberations it is notable

10:49

that while the jury was getting the

10:51

instructions while his honor Justice

10:54

Maran was saying things like let's talk

10:57

about the burden of proof

10:59

the burden of proof never shifts from

11:02

the people to the defendant if the jury

11:05

finds the people didn't carry that

11:08

burden they

11:13

must I mean I I I do that to show you

11:16

what Donald Trump was doing during a

11:18

very serious moment of the trial as jury

11:22

instructions are taking place as Justice

11:25

Muran is saying Reasonable Doubt does

11:28

not require absolute certainty of guilt

11:31

but it's enough to find that defendant

11:34

Donald J Trump is

11:40

probably it's a serious issue it is a

11:43

serious issue going on there and if

11:46

you're unable to stay awake during

11:48

critical moments of your own trial it

11:52

raises grave concerns and we know that

11:55

everything with Donald Trump and his

11:57

Maga base is projected so you want to go

12:00

sleepy Biden or sleepy Joe or all of

12:03

those things I'm like what a strange

12:05

nickname to give I get that President

12:07

Biden's older I I get that he's not as

12:10

fast as he once was and but I never

12:14

12:18
